4       The  Fountain  from  the  Rock. 

1  I  HAVE  come  to  tlie  fountain  that  flows 

from  tlie  Hock, 
The  Rock  that  was  smitten  for  me; 
For  I  heard  a  sweet  voice  gently  speak 
to  my  soul: 
"  0  come  to  the  waters  so  free." 

Chorus. 
O  wonderful  fountain   that  flows  from 
tlie  Rock, 
What  tide.-!  of  salvation  outpour! 
'Tis  Cor  you,  'tis  for  me,  hallelujah! 
Take  freely,  and  thirtt  nevermore. 

2  While  I  drink  of  the  fountain  that  flows 

from  the  Ko;k, 
Sweet  peace,  like  a  beautiful  dove, 
Nestles  down  in  my  heart,  while  the 
Spirit  divine. 
Awakens  the  nnisic  of  love. 

3  There  is  stren'j:th  at  the  fountain  (hat 

flows  from  the  Rock, 
For  lile  ev'-rla^tiiig  is  there; 
And  the  soul  gains  a  power  that  v.-ill 

victory  win, 
In  hours  of  temptation  and  care. 

4  I'll   abide   by  the   fountain   that  flows 

from  the  Rock, 
And  sink  'neath  its  bright,  cleansing 
waves ; 
All  its  waters  are  sparkling  Avith  heav- 
enlv  light; 
Our  Je?us  abundantly  saves.

Joyfiilly  tlie  great  salvation  see, 
Clo.-e  beside  thee  stands  the  Burden-

Strong  to  bear  thy  load  and  thee. 

-)  Come,  ye  thirsty,  to  the  living  waters, 
Hungry,  come  and  on  his  bounty  feed, 
Not  thy  fitness  is  the  ])lea  to  bring  him, 
But  thy  pressing,  utmost  need. 

4  "  Him  tliat  cometh,"  bhnd  or  maimed 

or  sinful, 

Cometh  for  his  healing  touch  divine. 
For  the  cleansing  of  the  blood  so  pre-

Prove  anew  this  gracious  line.

Breathing  all   the   heart   to   him   in

Coming  some  day  to  the  heavenly  man-

He  will  give  thee  welcome  there.

1  There  is  joy  among  the  angels, 

There's  a  mighty  shout  of  rapture; 
Far  beyond  the  pearly  gates  the  news

Of  a  sinner  now  repenting, 
To  the  gospel-word  consenting, 
Of  a  contrite  soul  that  seeks  its  bett-r

O'er  the  lost  one  he  is  bringing, 

Bringing  to  the  everlasting  home  above,

Up  to  the  presence  of  Infinite  Love, 
We  rise  in  our  worship  to-day ; 

Asking  his  blessing,  his  blessing  divine, 
We  joyfully  bear  it  away.

And  precious  the  moments  of  peace; 
The  flame  of  our  hearts  shall  kindle 
anew, 
And  love  and  devotion  increase.

His  Spirit  gives  comfort  to  all ; 
Then  come,  ask  for  mercy,  pardon,  and

Give  heed  to  his  sweet,  loving  call.

For  thy  will  alone  is  mine, 

This  is  all  my  crown  and  glory, 
I  am  thine  and  only  thine! 

2  When  the  noontide  falls  upon  me, 

With  its  fervid  lightning  ray^ 
There's  a  voice  divinely  earnest, 

Bids  me  work  while  it  is  day; 
Open,  Saviour,  now  before  me 

All  thy  will  for  me  to  do, 
Only  help  me,  watching,  working. 

Still  to  keep  my  Lord  in  view  1 

3  As  the  dewy  shades  steal  downward. 

O'er  the  earth  at  ev'ning  mild, 
There's  a  voice  I  love  that  whispers: 
"After  labor  rest,  my  child!  " 

0  my  Saviour,  loving,  tender. 
Help  me  to  account  it  blest 

Thus  to  work  within  thy  vineyard, 
Till  thou  callest  me  to^  rest.

One' by  one  we're  passing  o'er; 
One  by  one  the  crowns  are  given

And  the  loving,  gentle  Spirit 

Bears  them,  o'er  the  rolling  tide.

May  we  stand  upon  the  shore, 
Waiting  till  the  blessed  Spirit 

Takes  our  hand  and  guides  us  o'er; 
And  the  loving,  gentle  Spirit 

Leads  us  to  the  shining  shore.

95  The  Scarlet  Line. 

1  The  blood  of  the  Saviour  for  sinners 

was  shed. 
In  love  and  compassion  divine ;

We  follow  the  scarlet  line.'

Our  walls  with  his  covenants  shine; 
While  Mercy  and  Pardon  forever  have 
stood 
In  love  by  the  scarlet  line. 

2  When  Christ  was  uplifted,  and  mortals 

were  shown 
Jehovah's  far  reaching  design,

How  Justice  and  Mercy  were  called  tu 
his  throne, 
And  bound  by  the  scarlet  line, 
Then  hope  came  to  earth  with  a  heart- 
cheering  word, 
And  sung  of  this  life-giving  sign; 
And  Faith  quickly  shouted  her  triumph 
in  God, 
That  came  through  the  scarlet  line. 

3  Xo   more    will    the    altars    of   victims 
arise, 
Or  flames  from  the  offerings  shine; 
For  life  from  the  Lord  has  come  down 
from  the  skies. 
That  ran  through  the  scarlet  line. 
O  holy,  compassionate  Lamb  that  was 
slain, 
We  live  in  this  blessing  of  thine, 
And,  bound  by  the  cords  that  forever 
remain, 
We  trust  in  the  scarlet  line.

Where  neither  life  nor  death  can  part 
The  sacred  bonds  from  Jesus.

Ix  THE  Secret  of  His  Presence. 

1   In  the  secret  of  his  presence 

T  am  kept  from  strife  of  tongues: 
His  pavilion  is  around  me. 

And  within  are  ceaseless  songs! 
Stormy  winds  his  word  fultilling. 

Beat  without,  but  cannot  harm, 
For  the  Master's  voice  is  stilling 

Storm  and  tempest  to  a  calm.

All  the  darkness  disappears; 
For  a  snn  that  knows  no  setting, 

Throws  a  rainbow  on  my  tears.

Broad'ning  to  the  perfect  noon;

Never  more  can  foes  alarm ; 
In  the  shadow  of  the  Highest 

I  can  meet  them  with  a  psalm: 
For  the  strong  pavilion  hides  me. 

Turns  their  fiery  darts  aside, 
And  I  know  whate'er  betides  me, 

I  shall  live  because  he  died ! 

4  In  the  secret  of  hi^  presence 

Is  a  sweet,  unl)roken  rest ; 
Pleasures,  joys,  in  glorious  fullness. 

Making  earth  like  Eden  blest : 
So  my  peace  grows  deep  and  deeper, 

Wid'ning  as  it  nears  the  sea, 
For  my  Saviour  is  my  keeper, 

Keeping  mine  and  keeping  me!

"We  ha\'e  wandered  far  away  from  our

In  the  dark  and  dreary  paths  of  sin :

And  at  once  a  better  life  begin.

We  are  coming  home, 
We  are  coming  home,  coming  home  to-

We  have  heard  thy  welcome  voice, 
Blessed  Saviour,  and  rejoice ; 
We  are  coming  home  to-day. 

2  We  are  coming  now  by  faith,  by  the 

Spirit  led, 
We  are  coming  with  our  hearts  to 

thee ; 
We  are  trusting  in  the  blood  that  for  us 

was  shed, 
And  the  Holy  Spirit  sets  us  free. 

3  We  have  kindred  gone  before  to  the 

heavenly  home, 
And  they  draw  us  by  the  cords  of 

love; 
They  are  calling  us  to-day,  calling  us  to 

come 
To  the  happy,  happy  home  above.

Xo  Burdens  Allowed  to  Pass  THRorcH.

And  souls  full  of  music  are  found, 
Who  journey  along  day  by  day. 

Tasting  fruits  that  in  Canaan  abound; 
A  way  is  cast  up  for  our  feet 

By  Jesus,  the  faithful  and  true. 
And  over  the  gate-way  is  always  in-

No  burdens  allowed  to  pass  through, 
No  burdens,  no  burdens  with  you; 
Leave  all  at  the  cross  there  by  Calvary's 

tree. 
No  burdens  allowed  to  pass  through. 

This  holy  and  beautiful  way 

No  ravenous  beast  can  pass  o'er ; 
The  foot  that's  unclean  is  debarred 

From    touching    that    crystal  -  paved

But  wayfaring  men  shall  not  err 

Who  keep  only  Jesus  in  view, 
And  read  what  is  written,  so  truthful 
and  clear: 

"  No  burdens  allowed  to  pass  througL.'^ 

Redeemed  ones,  with  garments  made 
clean 

In  blood  that  was  shed  for  the  lost, 
Walk  there  with  a  comfort  unknown 

Before  they  the  threshhold  had  crossed. 
Cross  over!  away  with  your  fear! 

O  glory !  there's  room  there  for  you ; 
And  still  at  the  gate- way  you  ever  will 
hear: 

'  No  burdens  allowed  to  pass  through." 

Here  songs  interwoven  with  joy 
On  the  1  leads  of  the  ransomed  abide, 

While  Hearing  the  Zion  above, 
Just  floating  on  love's  silv'ry  tide.

172  A  Song  of  Trust. 

1  God   has  given  me  a  song,  a  song  of 

trust, 
And  I  sing  it  all  day  long,  for  sing  I 
must; 
Ev'ry  hour  it  sweeter  grows, 
Fills  my  soul  with  blest  repase, 
Just  how  restful  no  one  knows  but  those 
who  trust. 

Chorus. 
Ye  who  trust  in  the  Lord, 

O  sing  a  glad  refrain; 
Raise  your  songs  on  high. 

His  mighty  love  proclaim ; 
For  his  promise  is  sure, 
Ye  shall  not  be  put  to  shame, 
Ye   shall   never   be  confounded 

again : 
Praise  his  name!

Heav'nly  land  seems  very  near; 
Why,  I  almost  then  appear  to  walk  by 
'sight. 

3  And  I  sing  it  in  the  valley  dark  and  low, 
When  my  heart  is  crushed  with  sorrow, 

pain,  and  woe; 
Then  the  shadows  flee  away, 
.     Like  the  night  when  dawns  the  day; 
Trust  in  God  brings  light  alway,  I  find 
it  so.

"Go,"  Jesus  saith,  "until  ye  find: 

The  missing  one  must  not  be  lost, 
Go,  seek  until  ye  find  I  " 

I've  sought  my  friends  for  many  a  day, 
Have  prayed  for  many  a  year: 

Yet  still  they  wander  far  away, 
O'er  mountains  dark  and  drear; 

How  long  thus  seek  with  burdened 
mind? 

"  Seek,"  Jesus  saith,  "  until  ye  find: 
The  missing  one  must  not  be  lost, 

Go,  seek  and  ye  shall  find !  " 

Lord,  at  thy  word  I  go  again. 

Believing  I  shall  find: 
I  listened,  and  a  low  refrain 

Came  to  me  on  the  wind ; 
Led  by  the  sadly  joyful  sound 
I  rushed,  and,  lo,  the  lost  was  found ! 

Joy  !  joy  I  O  blessed  joy  divine  I 
The  lost  one  I  have  found.

O'er  the  land  whose  wondrous  beauty

Often  hindered  in  my  journey 
By  the  ghosts  of  doubts  and  fears, 

Broken  vows  and  disappointments 
Thickly  sprinkled  all  the  way, 

But  the  Spirit  led,  unerring, 
To  the  land  I  hold  to-day. 

I  am  drinking  at  the  fountain, 

Where  I  ever  would  abide; 
For  I've  tiisted  life's  pure  river, 

And  my  soul  is  satisfied ; 
There's  no  thirsting  for  life's  pleasures, 

Nor  adorning,  rich  and  gay. 
For  I've  found  a  richer  treasure. 

One  that  fadeth  not  away. 

Tell  me  not  of  heavy  crosses, 

Nor  the  burdens  hard  to  bear. 
For  I've  found  this  great  salvation 

Makes  each  burden  light  appear; 
And  I  love  to  follow  Jesus, 

Gladly  counting  all  but  dross, 
Worldly  honors  all  forsaking 

For  the  glory  of  the  Cross. 

0  tlie  Cross  has  wondrous  glory! 

Oft  I've  proved  this  to  be  true; 
When  I'm  in  the  way  so  narrow 

I  can  see  a  pathway  through; 
And  how  sweetly  Jesus  whispers: 

"Take   the   Cross,  tliou    need'st    not 
fear, 
For  I've  tried  this  way  before  thee. 

And  the  glory  lingers  near."

In  thy  praise  for  evermore.

You  will  cross  the  bridge  of  strife  ; 
See  that  Christ  is  your  conductor 

On  the  lightning  train  of  life  ; 
Always  mindful  of  obstruction. 

Do  your  duty,  never  fail ; 
Keep  your  hand  upon  the  throttle.

3  You  will  always  find  obstructions. 

Look  for  storms  of  wind  and  rain  ; 
On  a  fill,  or  curve,  or  trestle. 

They  will  almost  ditch  your  train  ; 
Put  your  trust  alone  in  Jesus, 

Never  falter,  never  fail ; 
Keep  y"ur  hand  upon  the  throttle, 

And  your  eye  upon  the  rail. 

4  As  you  roll  across  the  trestle. 

Spanning  death's  dariv  swelling  tide. 
You  behold  the  union  depot. 

Into  which  your  train  will  glide  ;

jnfidence  in  our  friends,  we  have  launched  a  sixteen  page  journal. 

ev.  L.  L.  Pickett  continues  as  editor;  Rev.  J.  B.  Culpepper,  as- 
xiate.  Please  note  the  new  departments.  The  page  on  Bible 
tudy  will  interest  and  help  those  who  love  the  Word  of  God. 

he  department  of  Music  will  contain  a  song  in  each  issue  ;  also 
fetches  of  noted  musicians,  incidents  connected  with  song  and 
Dpropriate  articles  concerning  chcirs,  the  cultivation  of  music 
-id  kindred  themes 

The  page  devoted  to  revivals  will  contain  reports  of  meetings, 
le  movemenls  of  the  workers,  articles  from  able  writers,  and

The  Home  Circle  is  in  chars^c  of  IV/rs.  L.  L.  Pickett.  Wilmore, 
.y.  We  believe  every  thing  i  i  t:iis  department  will  be  of  interest 
)  lovers  of  th3  home.  Make  t.ie  home  pure,  happy,  religious, 
id  socieiy  will  be  pure  and  government  strong  and  incorruptible, 
or  the  Sabbath  department  we  have  secured  a  series  of  articles 
om  the  pen  of  Rev.  W.  F.  Crafts.  President  ol  the  National 
ureau  of  Reform,  on  "  The  Sabbath  and  its  Enemies."  This 
■ill  bs  illu=;trated,  and  net  a  line  of  it  should  be  missed  by  friends 
f  the  Lord's  day.  Another  series,  by  Rev.  Isaac  H.  Beardsley, 
ititled,  ""Is  Sunday  the  Sabbath  of  the  New  Testament,"  is 
'orthy  of  very  special  attention.  He  is  a  champion  of  the 
christian  Sabbath  versus  the  legalized  Saturday-Sabbath  of 
jventh -day  keepers.  These  friends  are  lending  their  energies  to 
Dnvince  the  world  that  Saturday  is  the  true  Sabbath.  Those 
'ho  read  Mr.  Beardslev's  articles  will  certainlv  have  no  more 
■Quble  on  that  line.  If  you  have  friends  perplexed  concerning 
cereal  Sabbath  be  sure  to  put  ''The  Christian  Soldier"  in  their 
ands.  It  will  do  them  good.  We  also  have  secured  some  other 
ble  writers  on  prohibition,  and  themes  of  general  interest.  We 
ame  esoecially  Rev.  H.  R.  Withers,  of  Arkansas,  a  consecrated 
lan,  a  keen  writer;  and  Miss  Mary  McGee  Snell,  of  Mississippi, 
xtensively  known  as  a  Christian  worker,  an  accomplished  writer, 

poet  of  no  mean  ability. 

We  also  propose  to  furnish  in  each  issue  the  picture  of  some 
.oted  reformer  or  Christian  worker. 

Now  remember  this  whole  treat  may  be  yours  for  a  year  for 
mly  50  cent=,  or  for  $i.2s  we  will  credit  your  subscription  for 
hree  years.  We  want  i.ooo  preachers  added  to  our  list  at  once, 
nd  so  will  send  to  all  ministers  at  only  40  tents  a  year,  or  three 
'ears  paid  in  advance  for  5i  .00.
